Cyber attacks impact on our society. For example, citizens have to contend with the consequences of identity theft or the loss of personal photos due to a ransomware infection. Such attacks have the potential to undermine trust in the digital society. Cyber attacks by criminals or state actors can undermine the Dutch economy through theft of sensitive or valuable information and thereby damage confidence in economic activity. Example: NotPetya The NotPetya case is an example of a digital attack with considerable consequences for Dutch businesses. In June 2017, organisations across the globe fell victim to a ransomware attack. In the Netherlands, this ransomware affected the business operations of APM’s container terminal and TNT’s parcel deliveries, among others. Container processing at APM was halted for several days and TNT’s deliveries were also delayed as a result of the attack. Although the Ukraine seemed to be the primary target of this attack, there were significant consequences for Dutch businesses. 12 | National Cyber Security Agenda A cyber secure Netherlands
